Tribulation of Myriad Races

After a while, a death spirit started approaching White One. When he noticed that, he blanked out slightly. The others also noticed that. The late-stage Sunmoons hurriedly flew into the sky and inspected the direction the death spirit had come from.

But shortly after, they returned while shaking their heads. The Mountainsea death spirit blanky tossed a jade talisman out. When White One checked the talisman, he noted that it was a recording talisman.

Su Yu’s voice rang out from the talisman, “Hand over all your storage rings and anything of value on you. If all of you do that, I’ll trust your sincerity.”

“…”

“Hmph!”

Someone snorted. Only a fool would believe that. Su Yu was showing zero sincerity. It was clear he did not intend to set them free. As for White One, he took an index copy out and tossed it toward the death spirit. But the death spirit merely sent a beam of death qi at the copy, destroying it.

Clearly, it had not been ordered by Su Yu to receive anything. In truth, this death spirit was no longer under Su Yu’s control. It was only ordered to deliver the talisman. That was all. It was obvious Su Yu did not intend to receive anything from these people.

He had probably expected them to refuse his demand.

“Su Yu!” Mo Duona spoke, “Can you accept an index copy and negotiate with us? I guarantee that the devils will not track your location.”

Zhan Wushuang spoke as well, “The divines will not track your location either.”

“The immortals won’t as well.”

“…”

The geniuses started promising to not track his location on behalf of their races. But Su Yu completely ignored them. They must think he was five. Trust? That was worthless. At the moment, he only cared about benefits.

As long as they could kill Su Yu, these people would never hesitate to go back on their words.

***

Inside an ancient building.

Su Yu was lightly rapping on the wall while deep in thought. Could he really trap all these people to death? Or was it better to release them in exchange for some benefits? He shook his head. Nope. He did not need any benefits from them.

He had yet to even fully digest the things he had scammed recently. But…these people were probably carrying quite a lot of resources on them. After all, they were all initially here for the auction.

Su Yu licked his lips. He recalled that the auction had been quite expensive to prepare.

“Yes, they’re rich. But I’m a bit scared of accepting their stuff…”

Su Yu laughed. He wouldn’t accept anything from them unless he was confident he could avoid any trick they might be trying to pull. Unfortunately, he wasn’t confident enough yet.

“If that death sovereign can appear once more, maybe I can follow the death sovereign and rob them all. That will probably feel amazing…”

Su Yu started feeling quite helpless. That death sovereign was technically the head guard of his new home. Unfortunately, the head guard was quite unruly. Otherwise, he could have killed all those people with the death sovereign.

He clenched his teeth and decided that he wouldn’t accept anything from them. Those things would still be his after they were all dead. He still wanted to kill them all. He would kill as many of them as they could. In a way, he was contributing to humanity doing this, right?

Humanity would probably be pleased to see so many experts and geniuses of the myriad races dying here. They should be thankful to him for eliminating so many potential enemies for them.

Once again, White One shouted, “Su Yu, the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion has established communication with an expert from your human race. A human expert, Niu Baidao, wishes to have a chat with you. He is offering to accept all the offered benefits on your behalf since you don’t trust us. As long as you stop killing for three days, the people outside will pay sufficient prices for our freedom.”

Principal Niu? Principal Niu had entered the Allheaven Battlefield as well? From White One’s words, the principal was probably on his way here. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be an offer for the principal to accept those benefits on his behalf.

“Principal Niu is here…”

Su Yu frowned. It was very dangerous for the principal to be here. He had offended so many races. Would they go mad and take their anger out on Old Niu?

***

While Su Yu was deep in thought.

Outside.

Niu Baidao had just arrived at the border of the Sea of Stars. It had been many years since he was last here. Beside him was Ye Hongyan, who was clad in black.

Looking at him coldly, she said, “Why are you moving so slowly? Also, why did you make this decision on behalf of Su Yu? Did you seek his opinion before making this decision?”

Niu Baidao smiled, “I made no decision. I did consult his opinion. Hongyan, he’s trapped in the city. It’s pointless no matter how many people he kills. For now, it’s much better for him to take as many benefits as he can. Furthermore, he won’t be able to kill all those people anyway.”

Niu Baidao sighed, “Do you think those Invincibles are really scared? Yes, they might have been alarmed previously. But these ancient cities have to operate according to their laws. When the Invincibles regain their calm, even more Invincibles will go. They only need to wait outside the city and get ready to provide support to those inside. It’s clear enough that those stone statues and death sovereigns can’t leave the ancient cities. If I can see that, those Invincibles will be able to see that as well.”

They had definitely noticed that. They had merely been waiting because the Invincibles that were there previously had suffered massive losses. Furthermore, they were also watching out for the humans. What if the human Invincibles decided to stir chaos yet again?

Because of that, the Invincibles were still hesitating. Otherwise, not even sealing the city would be useful in harming all those people. When those geniuses and experts reached their limits, more Invincibles would arrive. That was certain. They wouldn’t be willing to give up on so many geniuses and experts.

Mo Duona, Zhan Wushuang, Xuan Wuji…

All these names represented the prestige of their respective races. They were the strongest among the younger generation. The Luminous Domain Mansion was going to be opened soon as well. Their strength would be needed there. Thus, the various races would not allow them to die so soon.

All those youngsters would be very important during the opening of the Luminous Domain Mansion. In truth, the human race still knew very little about the Luminous Domain Mansion. In the past openings, the humans had never been able to go too deeply into the mansion.

For example, Great Xia could only send the likes of Huang Teng, Bai Feng, and Wu Lan to explore the mansion. Great Ming was in an even worse position. They could only rely on some Cloudbreaches and Skysoars for the mansion exploration.

It wasn’t surprising that the human race had never been able to obtain many benefits from the mansion.

Meanwhile, the divines, devils, and other major races would always have plenty of top geniuses to spare. These geniuses would reap massive harvests during each opening. Thus, the Invincibles of the various races would definitely move out again if these geniuses were still trapped in the city when the mansion was about to open.

Naturally, there wouldn’t be a need for these Invincibles to take the risk of approaching the ancient city if these geniuses and experts could leave before that.

Ye Hongyan remained silent. Niu Baidao turned to look at her and said, “You can go back now. The Sea of Stars is very dangerous. I can move alone from here on out.”

“I go where I want. Why do you care?”

Niu Baidao smiled, “You’re hundreds of years old. Why are you so stubborn? We’re already an old couple…”

Ye Hongyan stared at him coldly.

After a while, she said, “Back then, you couldn’t save Ye Batian. Now, you won’t be able to save Su Yu either. Niu Baidao, you will forever be useless…”

Niu Baidao smiled, “What are you saying? These fellows love provoking Invincibles. What am I supposed to do? I feel very helpless as well. Sigh.”

After the sigh, he smiled again, “But Su Yu is still alive, right? As long as he remains alive, there is still hope. A living dead is not dead. The ancient city might be a better place for him. At the very least, he’ll be able to protect himself there.”

“Bullshit!” Ye Hongyan furiously said, “He won’t be able to live for long in the ancient city. No ancient city resident has ever broken through into the Invincible Realm. All those ancient city mayors are peak Sunmoons, but they can’t even get onto the Dao Affirmation Ranking. With zero progress in cultivation, it is only a matter of time before he dies…”

“Isn’t that true for all of us? We will all die one day.” Niu Baidao laughed, “Trust me. Just staying alive is already the best he can ask for. These Great Xia fellows are too good at courting death. It’s perfectly normal for them to die young. Also, dying young is not that big of a loss for them anyway. They have always lived life to the fullest…”

“Niu Baidao!” Ye Hongyan became even more furious.

Niu Baidao shut his mouth and started moving forward. Ye Hongyan continued following him, but he did not mind. After looking around, he smiled, “Wow, there’s not a single female cultivator in the vicinity…”

Ye Hongyan glared at him coldly.

Niu Baidao hurriedly explained himself, “I’m planning to kill all of them. Don’t misunderstand me. Nobody can question my loyalty to you. If anyone tries to seduce me, I’ll kill them!”

“Hmph!”

Niu Baidao grinned and shut his mouth again. The two moved rapidly.

Suddenly, Ye Hongyan asked in surprise, “You seem to have gotten a lot faster than before. Have you reached the eighth-stage Sunmoon Realm?”

“…”

Niu Baidao sighed. Not even his wife knew his strength. She must have been underestimating him. Whatever. He decided to not entertain that question. After a while, a shining island appeared before them. It was the Red Clouds Island.

Niu Baidao did not step on the island. He merely waited nearby. Shortly after, Qin Hao and Zhu Guangshen came out to meet him. They did not return with Great Ming King. Instead, they had remained on Red Clouds Island.

Naturally, Great Xia King had given Bright City a casual slash while passing by. Thus, the city was now split into two. But it actually looked quite unique and spectacular with its new design.

The bounty posted at the city gate had been promptly removed after the renovation by Great Xia King. As for the Sunmoon from the clearbright bird race who was in charge of watching over the city, well, that Sunmoon had been transformed into a roasted bird by Great Xia King and the others.

The words spoken by a human when Su Yu was here were proven true. That person had claimed that the human experts would not let the bounty slide. When Great Xia King was passing by, he noticed the bounty. Thus, he swung his saber once, splitting the city into two and cutting a Sunmoon bird down. Meanwhile, the clearbright bird race did not even dare to protest.

They were the ones who had decided to hang Su Yu’s bounty in front of their city to fawn on the divines and devils. The humans couldn’t do much to the divines and devils, but they could certainly do something to the clearbright birds.

Unfortunately for the clearbright bird race, the human expert to notice the bounty happened to be the murderous Great Xia King. If it wasn’t for the fact that he still had other things to worry about, he might even charge straight into the Clearbright Realm. That was a realm without an Invincible. If Great Xia King entered, he could probably eliminate their entire race.
